About Fibersil Orange Flavour Powder

Fibersil Orange Flavour Powder belongs to the group of medicines called laxatives used to treat constipation. Constipation refers to infrequent bowel movements in which the stools are often dry, painful, and hard to pass.

Fibersil Orange Flavour Powder is a combination of two drugs; Ispaghula husk and Lactitol. Ispaghula husk is a bulk-forming laxative that works by increasing the amount of water in the stool, making the stool softer and easier to pass. It can absorb 14 times more water than its weight. Therefore, drink plenty of water while taking Ispaghula. On the other hand, Lactitol is a disaccharide sugar. It works by breaking down into low-molecular-weight organic acids in the colon, which increases the osmotic pressure. This causes an increase in water content in stools, and stool volume, thereby makes the stool softer and easier to pass and provides relief from constipation.  

Take Fibersil Orange Flavour Powder as prescribed by your doctor. Try to take the Fibersil Orange Flavour Powder  at a fixed time for the best results. You are advised to take Fibersil Orange Flavour Powder for as long as your doctor has prescribed it for you depending on your medical conditions. In some cases, you may experience certain common side-effects such as abdominal distension, cramps, and flatulence (gas). Most of these side-effects do not require medical attention and will resolve gradually over time. However, you are advised to talk to your doctor if you experience these side-effects persistently.

To treat your condition effectually, continue taking Fibersil Orange Flavour Powder for as long as your doctor has prescribed. Drink plenty of fluids (at least 6-8 glasses) while taking Fibersil Orange Flavour Powder . Consult your doctor before taking Fibersil Orange Flavour Powder if you are pregnant or breastfeeding; your doctor will prescribe you Fibersil Orange Flavour Powder only if the benefits outweigh the risks. Inform your doctor if there is no bowel movement or if you find rectal bleeding after taking Fibersil Orange Flavour Powder . Do not take Fibersil Orange Flavour Powder for more than a week as it might cause dependency on Fibersil Orange Flavour Powder for a bowel movement.

Disease/Condition Glossary

Constipation: It refers to infrequent bowel movements. The stools are often dry, painful and hard to pass. Constipation is a condition in which the person has fewer than three bowel movements in a week. However, bowel patterns may vary from person to person. Symptoms include bloating, abdominal pain, and feeling as if the bowel movement is incomplete. Constipation occurs when the normal muscle contractions in the large intestine slow down, which causes the incomplete elimination of the bowel from the body. Constipation could be associated with a sudden change of diet, a diet with less fibre, not drinking enough liquids, and lack of exercise.
